Police: Concord residents should be on lookout for man breaking into cars (with Video)

CONCORD -- State police have released a video of a man seen breaking into a vehicle on Huntingdon Farm Drive early Sunday.

The incident took place around 3:10 a.m. outside of a home in the Concord Woods Development.

The homeowners' video surveillance camera caught the thief in the act. He is seen trying to enter cars parked in a neighbor's driveway before he walks over to the adjacent driveway and successfully enters a parked vehicle. The camera captures him rummaging around in the vehicle then trying the door to the car parked next to it.

The suspect was described as a heavyset white male, 30 to 40-years-old with ear-length hair.

State police ask anyone who may recognize him to call 484-840-1000 or 911.

Vehicle break-ins have been an ongoing concern of police departments across the area for some time now. Often, the culprits are drug addicts looking for quick cash, authorities say.

An unlocked vehicle door is an invitation to these thieves, who will rummage through the vehicle for loose change, GPS devices or any other items that can bring quick cash.

Law enforcement officers remind everyone to keep valuables out of sight in parked vehicles, preferably out of the vehicles entirely. Lock you doors and roll up the windows of your vehicle while it its parked.
